Chargebee argues the real threat isn't AI capabilities — it's accumulated "business model debt" that makes pricing transitions impossible. AI products average ~52% gross margins vs. ~80% traditional SaaS. A pricing change touches billing logic, rev rec, contracts, and comms simultaneously. Flexera confirms: 85% of SaaS leaders now use hybrid pricing. Your lack of legacy pricing IS your structural advantage.
